Here, we report a unique case in which a fibroepithelial polyp was found in the cartilaginous part of the external auditory canal of a 2-year-old child. The polyp was successfully treated by excision using an endaural approach and healed without complications. This is the very first report of a fibroepithelial polyp in the external auditory canal in the pediatric population. Although fibroepithelial polyp is an extremely rare diagnosis, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a child's external auditory canal polyp.
